What are my options for schedule or seat changes on American Airlines?

Category: Planning

Schedule changes happen frequently and it’s important to carefully follow changes. Depending on the type of change, you may have different options available. The most comprehensive guide can be found on Saleslink.

In summary,

  • Refunds are not permitted for a schedule change less than 4 hours
  • You may be eligible for co-terminal options
  • You could change from a connection to a non-stop
  • You could take another flight on the same day or within 1 day before or after the original departure time

Seat changes can happen when there is an equipment change or due to other passenger accommodations. If there was additional payment made for those seats, a refund can be requested through https://prefunds.aa.com. If the seat change is significant (from Premium Economy to economy), you can call reservations and request to be accommodated on another flight due to “level of comfort.”

You can set alerts using ExpertFlyer to monitor schedule, seat/equipment changes.
